Serena Williams clarifies reason for surprise Super Bowl Crip Walk.
Tennis legend, Serena Williams made a surprise appearance during Kendrick Lamar’s Super Bowl LIX halftime show, but her dance move quickly sparked debate. The tennis legend crip-walked during Lamar’s performance, a move that drew criticism when she did it at Wimbledon in 2012 after winning Olympic gold. Addressing the moment on social media, Williams joked, “I didn’t Crip walk like that at Wimbledon, I would have been fined!” Back in 2012, she explained that the dance was an unplanned celebration, saying, “I love to dance… I was so happy, and next thing I know, I started dancing.” Fans have speculated about the deeper meaning behind her Super Bowl cameo. Williams and Lamar both hail from Los Angeles, where the crip-walk originated. Some also noted her past romantic link to Drake, who is currently in a rap feud with Lamar. Regardless, her unexpected appearance became one of the night’s most talked-about moments.

Kanye West’s Yeezy website taken down for selling swastika T-shirt.
Rapper, Kanye West’s Yeezy.com has been taken offline following backlash over the sale of a swastika T-shirt on the website. Visitors to the site now encounter error messages, as Shopify, the platform hosting Yeezy’s transactions, confirmed it removed the store for violating its terms. “This merchant did not engage in authentic commerce practices,” Shopify stated to Variety. West had promoted the site in a surprise Super Bowl ad aired in Los Angeles, featuring him in a dentist’s chair urging viewers to visit Yeezy.com. After the ad, the site was updated to sell only the controversial T-shirt for $20. Shopify soon faced criticism for hosting the website. This follows West’s recent deactivation from X after a series of antisemitic and misogynistic posts, including praising Hitler and declaring, “I’m a Nazi.” His comments were widely condemned by organizations like the Anti-Defamation League, while celebrities urged Elon Musk to ban him from the platform.
